Description of problem: The rpm that ships with both F7 and F8 cannot unpack a source RPM that can be unpacked on FC-6. The RPM in question is this one: http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/jpackage/1.7/generic/free/SRPMS/jfreechart-1.0.5-1jpp.src.rpm I have downloaded it multiple times on multiple machines (including one Windows machine) using multiple methods (Firefox and wget) and multiple ISPs (both work and home). The md5sums of the various downloads I got all match with each other, although I am waiting for confirmation from jpackage.org that it matches with what they have. (I get 2e785022a1af9b6e833afba54c480a40.) I have tried an x86_64 F8 machine, an i386 F8 machine, and an x86_64 F7 machine. On all three, this happens: $ rpm -i jfreechart-1.0.5-1jpp.src.rpm warning: jfreechart-1.0.5-1jpp.src.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID c431416d warning: user jpp does not exist - using root warning: group jpp does not exist - using root warning: user jpp does not exist - using root warning: group jpp does not exist - using root error: unpacking of archive failed on file /home/jamesjer/rpmbuild/SOURCES/jfreechart-1.0.5.tar.gz;47445403: cpio: read The jpackage.org people confirmed that they can successfully unpack this source rpm on an FC-6 machine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.4.2.2-3.fc8 rpm-4.4.2.2-2.fc7 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download the jfreechart source rpm using the URL above 2. Attempt to unpack the source rpm Actual results: The unpacking process aborts with a cpio error. Expected results: The source rpm should unpack successfully. Additional info:
And just 2 hours later, yum-updatesd tells me that there is a new rpm. This bug still exists in rpm-4.4.2.2-7.fc8.
Reproduced here: Also rpm2cpio jfreechart-1.0.5-1jpp.src.rpm | cpio -tvd -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 936 May 18 2007 jfreechart-1.0.5-build_xml.patch -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 5543413 May 18 2007 jfreechart-1.0.5.tar.gz cpio: premature end of file Note also using /usr/lib/rpm/rpm2cpio.sh jfreechart-1.0.5-1jpp.src.rpm | cpio -tvd -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 936 May 18 2007 jfreechart-1.0.5-build_xml.patch -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 5543413 May 18 2007 jfreechart-1.0.5.tar.gz gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated cpio: premature end of file So it looks as if the rpm error is consistent with what cpio/gzip extraction of the src.rpm say.

This is definitely a corrupt file, given further investigation by jpackage.org. I'm not sure of the correct bugzilla etiquette here. Should I close this as NOTABUG, or do I leave that to the person who has been assigned the bug?
Failing to unpack a corrupted file is indeed NOTABUG.
